1815 Chapter 1716: Luoshen Poison
They had put in so much effort, how could there be any reason for them to give up?
Emperor traceless said bluntly, “If this is the reason, then I think that the second prince has come here for nothing. All generations of contenders for the position of crown prince are filled with variables. Until the last moment, even the first prince, who has the absolute advantage, doesn’t dare to say that it will be a 100% success.”
Their refusal couldn’t be any more obvious. They definitely wouldn’t give up just like that.
“Hehe, indeed. Before the final outcome appears, I don’t dare to make a wild guess as to who will succeed in the end. However, I can be sure that there will definitely be a royal sister in the midst of failure. With just the strength of twenty or so of your people, to be honest, it’s simply not enough.”The second prince also went straight to the point.
Princess ru Chen’s small face fell and she said unhappily, “That doesn’t need second brother to worry about.”
The second prince continued, “Royal sister should think it over carefully. If you give it to me now and the merit of the dragon, it will be beneficial to you in the future. If you refuse, you will gain nothing because you have no hope of seizing the crown prince! “The only way out in front of you is to seek refuge with one of the princes.”
“In the eastern royal family, the competition for the crown prince has always been extremely cruel. When it comes to father’s side, there are no brothers or sisters. It goes without saying where they went. After father ascended the throne, he killed them and exiled them. In short, he eliminated them all.”
“Sister, it’s best to think about the future carefully. Should we get rid of them or become a happy and carefree king?”
Emperor traceless snorted coldly. “If we have to rely on a prince, why should we rely on you? No matter how you look at it, the first prince has more advantages than you.”
If it really reached the point of no return, the first Prince’s risk would be lower than the second Prince’s.
“Hahaha, the first prince has the right time, the right place, and the right people. Do you think you still need the support of twenty people? Even if you give it to him, when he ascends the throne in the future, how much leverage can sister have?”
His words pierced princess ru Chen’s vital point.
Indeed, the first prince was like the Sun in the sky. He did not care about his mere support at all.
The two women fell into a deep silence.
“Hehe, I won’t force you. Give me an answer before Yu the great ruins. If not, Hehe, when we meet again in the ruins, we will be enemies! Farewell!”The second Prince said arrogantly.
He held his head high and left the Princess’residence with his chest puffed out.
After witnessing the entire process, Su Yu finally understood why Princess Ruchen also wanted to fight for the position of crown prince.
She might not be greedy for power, but if she didn’t work hard to fight for the position of crown prince, what awaited him in the future would be an exceptionally tragic ending.
The second prince, who was usually gentle and kind to her, had a cold and ruthless expression when things came to an end. This was enough to explain everything.
“Aunt...”princess ru Chen glared at the second prince as he left. Then, with a moan, she threw herself into Emperor Wu Hen’s arms and cried, she was like a little girl who had been bullied. “I must become the crown prince, or else...”
There was a strange emotion in her determination.
Emperor Wu Hen had a complicated expression on his face as he gently patted her back to comfort her.
To be honest, based on Su Yu’s experience, Princess Ru Chen’s temperament was not suitable to be the ruler of a country.
She was headstrong, weak, and had no foresight. It was difficult for her to achieve great things.
However, if she ascended the throne, he believed that she would be the only one among his brothers and sisters who would not go on a killing spree and slaughter the imperial family.
“I will repay the favor of others tenfold,”Su Yu thought to himself. He had always adhered to his beliefs.
No matter what the fate of Emperor Yu’s dynasty was, he would always keep his promise and support princess ru Chen with all his might.
After bidding farewell to the two girls, Su Yu returned to his residence.
The lights in the residence were dim. As it was a newly built residence, the palace maids and servants were left in the process of selection. As a result, it was a little desolate.
Sitting alone in the courtyard, looking at the moon in the distance, he could not help but feel frustrated.
Where was Xia Jingyu? With a glimpse of the ancient dream altar, she disappeared without a trace.
Ever since they met, Xia Jingyu had always been like a cluster of hazy fog. The moon in the water would always meet for a short while before parting for a long time.
It made him constantly chase and search, time and time again.
There seemed to be an invisible isolation in the dark, standing between them and unable to cross it.
Was It Fate? Looking at the Bright Moon, Su Yu had a vague feeling.
In the invisible world, there was an invisible giant hand that stopped them.
That feeling was very similar to the tribulation immortal behind the scenes who tried to destroy Su Yu.
Deep in thought, he fell into a daze.
Until a maidservant held a cup of hot tea and called out softly, “Sixth Prince, the tea is here.”
These few days, after Su Yu did not cultivate, he would drink tea alone in the back garden last month. The servants were already used to serving tea on time.
Su Yu recovered slightly and picked up the Teacup as if he was lost. “Go Down.”
“Yes.”
He took a sip. The tea was rich and fragrant.
But suddenly, he frowned. Gradually, a painful expression appeared on his face. Traces of blood and sweat seeped out from his pores.
“There’s poison in the tea? Who Is It?”Su Yu’s pupils quickly lost focus and were covered in a layer of grayish-white.
In the darkness, he could vaguely see an exceptionally tall palace maid coming in front of him.
It was the one who served him tea!
This palace maid had ordinary facial features, but there was one thing that was particularly special about her. There was a mole below her right eye that looked like a teardrop.
Su Yu suddenly remembered a person!
The white-clothed woman who had placed a bounty on Su Yu in the Emperor Dynasty of Great Yu was also a peak existence with a crown.
The most eye-catching characteristic of that woman was the mole of Tears. Su Yu had a deep memory of her name.
Qiu Hen Lei!
“How is it? The spirit tea made by traceless tears tastes pretty good, right?”Qiu Hen Lei squatted down and quietly watched Su Yu gradually turn into blood.
Su Yu growled in pain, “Who sent you?”
Qiu Hen Lei’s lips curled into a cold arc. “No one sent me. I’m the one who wants to kill you.”
Strange! Su Yu originally thought that it was the first prince and the second prince who sent the assassins.
How strict were the imperial palace guards? There were gray-robed emperors, several one-crowned emperors, and countless powerful arrays.
The probability of passing through the palace undetected was zero.
Only with the arrangements of these two princes could the assassins infiltrate the sixth Prince’s mansion.
Most importantly, the two of them had a reason to kill Su Yu.
“However, I did help you get rid of an assassin who was hiding in the dark.”Qiu Hen Lei waved her hand and threw a corpse out of the storage space.
Her body was covered in rotting flesh and blood. She did not look like a human and her body contained a prehistoric power.
It was the emperor!
He was the assassin sent by the first prince.
However, he was also a crown prince, but he was killed by Qiu Hen Lei without attracting any attention.
The danger of this woman was self-evident.
“If he makes a move, it will inevitably stir up trouble. To be safe, we can only get rid of him first.”
Su Yu’s face sank.
“Why did you kill me?”He asked with difficulty. The poison had completely corroded his body, and his throat bones had begun to soften. His words were very vague.
“Hehe, of course it’s revenge. You killed someone who shouldn’t have been killed.”
“Who?”
“What made you enter the Yellow Board contribution list?”The other party asked coldly.
It was evil wolf!
“He’s my disciple! My real name is Luoshen Lei! You’re a member of the royal family, I believe you’ve heard of me.”
Hearing this, Su Yu was shocked.
The number one most wanted criminal on the wanted list, Luoshen Lei!
It was actually this monstrous vicious person?
Su Yu didn’t know what crime she had committed, but being listed as the number one most wanted criminal was enough to imagine her danger.
Back then, she had accidentally obtained the evil Wolf’s head, but she did not expect to provoke this vicious person!
Luoshen lei smiled coldly. “You can die in peace. After being poisoned by my Luoshen Poison, no one can live.”
After saying this, she walked away unhurriedly, leaving behind Su Yu and the emperor’s corpse that continued to rot.
“Hehe, I’m afraid it won’t be as you wish.”
However, a strange movement suddenly appeared behind her.
Before she could react, a dragon-shaped sword qi that was close to the emperor’s head cut towards the vital point behind her back.
Luoshen Lei’s expression changed, and she hurriedly summoned a cloud of mist in front of her.
The dragon-shaped sword Qi charged into it like a clay ox entering the sea.
However, with a light snort, Luoshen Lei’s figure fell out, and her chest was dark red.
She fixed her eyes on Su Yu, somewhat surprised.
At this moment, Su Yu’s body burst out with astonishing vitality. The emerald light flourished, and his festering body quickly recovered to its original state.
A ball of pitch-black fog was slowly forced out of his palm.
“You Weren’t poisoned?”Luoshen lei was astonished. Luoshen’s lethal poison entered his body and immediately spread to his limbs and bones. Even a double-crowned emperor would find it difficult to force the poison out of his body.
Unless he didn’t drink the tea from the beginning and was only affected by the wisps of poison.
Su Yu’s spiritual energy surged out of his five fingers and enveloped the ball of Luoshen’s poison.
“I searched your palace maid’s soul and served tea according to her habits. How did you see through it?”Luoshen Lei asked in a deep voice.
Su Yu said, “The tea is cold.”
He had always been as meticulous as dust. He instantly felt that something was wrong when he drank the tea.
The tea served by the palace maids was brought over immediately after it was brewed. It was slightly hot, but this cup was a little cold. Apparently, it had been put on hold for some time.
His palace maids would never serve such tea.
Therefore, he immediately wrapped the tea in a divine aura. Even so, the steaming poisonous gas still tormented it quite a bit.
Fortunately, he had grasped forty percent of the law of life and forcefully neutralized the lethal poison with his tyrannical vitality.
Just a trace of poison was already so powerful. If the poison in the tea had entered his body, it was imaginable that even the double-crowned emperor might not be able to withstand it.
Luoshen lei sighed regretfully. “So that’s how it is. A hundred secrets have been neglected, so I can only kill you by force.”
In any case, Su Yu’s sword had already caused a commotion, so she couldn’t care about it anymore.
However, with a Swish, a beautiful woman in palace clothes appeared beside Su Yu. She was naturally Emperor Wuhen who had rushed over after hearing the news.
She stared at Luoshen Lei and her eyes immediately turned cold. “You actually dare to come to the Imperial Palace! !”
Luoshen Lei crossed her arms in front of her chest and revealed a pitiful sneer. “Oh? Isn’t this the younger sister-in-law of Princess Xiao Yun from back then? You’ve been living quite well these years.”
“Thanks to you, I’ve been alone all these years. I’ve indeed been living very well!”Emperor Wuhen’s words were filled with a deep-rooted hatred.
It was as if there was an irreconcilable enmity between her and Luoshen Lei.
“Hehe, then you should live well.”Luoshen lei smiled contemptuously and glanced at Su Yu, she said meaningfully, “The same goes for you. Cherish the few moments you have left. You’ve escaped today, but soon, you’ll realize that this world has made you even more desperate.”
